US, Guatemala launch pilot program to facilitate migration, temporary work visas

The United States and Guatemala announced a six-month pilot program to facilitate legal entry to the U.S. and other countries, family reunifications and access to temporary work visas, the countries said in a joint statement on Wednesday.

Appointments at the so-called "safe mobility offices" will be available starting June 12, the countries added, though the statement did not specify how many people would be served as part of the program.
